The Best Student Cities: Why Bigger Isn’t Better

This article questions the idea that bigger and more expensive cities are the best place for students to study.

So which do you prefer? Life studying in a big city or a smaller city?

I welcome any feedback, so if you have any comments or questions let me know!

It probably depends upon the individual student's personality :smile:

Coming from a city with 30 000 citizens in Denmark, I think I'd be comfortable in small to medium size citites - I believe I might feel lost in a big city. How about you?

I prefer the city, but I certainly wouldn't like somewhere like london.

What you grow up with definitely influences what you want when you move away from home! I think big cities are great to visit or live in for a little while, but they seem cooler from the outside than from the inside. When you live in a big city, you need money to make the most of it. If you don't have cash to burn it just means you have a smaller home and it takes longer to get places!

Well it's Imo a strange idea that wouldn't occur to people unless someone had made up a ranking table.

Being in a large expensive city where you can't walk between your housing and uni isn't really offset by having dozens of Michelin starred restraunts you can't afford to visit.

I also agree that a small city is the best. I live in Newcastle and find it just right as there's loads of places to go yet I don't need to use public transport to get about.

My current city is the largest I've ever lived in and it isn't that big. I can easily run into someone I know anywhere in the city or find someone who I have a mutual friend with. But that being said, I'm moving to Manchester in September and it will definitely be a huge change. I'm slightly anxious but more so excited to try something new.
